Re: 1928 Airmail stamps
I have noticed three types of paper so far:
- Parallel watermark, AЯ, clearly visible rhombos [granulado]of the symmetrical paper mesh - English paper: both with the direction of paper parallel to the short side of the stamp as to the long side!
- Orthogonal watermark, felt side of the paper at the back, RA visible from the back of the stamp, small sun, symmetrical paper mesh - Austrian paper: both with the direction of paper parallel to the short side of the stamp as to the long side!
- Orthogonal watermark, felt side of the paper at the back, AЯ visible from the back of the stamp, large sun, symmetrical paper mesh - Dutch paper: the direction of paper parallel to the short side of the stamp!

Re: 1928 Airmail stamps
The production of the airmal stamps stopped in 1933 and the stamps were demonetized by 01.04.1936 - see Luca 1939!
So how come the Austriaco paper had survived for another couple of years before popping up in 1937???

Re: 1928 Airmail stamps
The 15c on Austriaco with transposed paper and hence the watermark reading RA from the back:
but somehow only the middle stamp seem to be the real Austriaco although the heart-to-heart measurements of the other 2 are OK as well!

Re: 1928 Airmail stamps
The Casa de Moneda apparently had different layouts. And that was depending on the denominations being a multiple of 18c!Rein escribió:I have noticed three types of paper so far:

The English paper Wiggins Teape with a parallel watermark has the direction of paper along the long axis of the stamp [M]
for the non-18c's - I have the 5, 10, 20, 25, 35c. Whereas the 18c multiples have the short axis [m]: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 180 but ALSO the 1Peso!
Orthogonal watermarks of the Austrian paper have the direction of paper along the long axis [M] for the 18c multiples - turning everything 90 degrees! - as I have the 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 180, 360 AND the 1peso! The short axis ¨m* is for the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 50 and the 24c!
Orthogonal watermarks of the Dutch paper only have the short axis [m]: 20, 54, 72, 90 and 1Peso...

Hello Rein
You might like to contact my friend Abraham Tumarkin, abbycali@sunrise.ch. I know he has studied the papers of the issue in question and found 3 different types. When you write to him, make a reference to me. Regards,
